Here's some inspiration from the Ace Hotel in Palm Springs, via the LA Times.
I love the canvas covered walls here -- a definite safari vibe. They also use them for draping the modern sliding glass doors onto private patios.
The greatest towel hooks ever. I may do this in my new upstairs bath.
I'm predicting the foundry cart coffee table will become the first cliche of all this industrial nostalgic design -- is it just me or would it really hurt to knock your shin on one of these?All the Ace Hotels are wonderful -- I'm surprised I haven't featured any of them yet. I will rectify that in the future, however.
My mom and step-dad had one of those heavy carts as a coffee table. It looks fantastic but, yes, it hurts like crazy to run into one. :)
ReplyDeleteI wonder how they keep the canvas clean. They must have to launder it or something.

I'd let my chins take a beating for one of those tables!
ReplyDeleteYeah, the cart thing is a tough one. I'm doing my place right now and trying to decide whether or not to use that one I have. It's sort of cool, but even before reading the cliche comment I'd been wondering about the vintage industrial "me-too" feel of it....
